Almost done with my final rolls. It really difficult for me to get the people together that I need. Im not really sure how this is going to come out. Im hoping it turns out better than I plan, but Im just not sure.

Role Photo has in Communication

The role photography has in communication is very important. Photography can impose ideas onto people. Photos can give someone a sense of national unity or give some people ideas that are wrong but by the way the photo is protrayed they believe it is the correct thing to do.

This picture give me the sense on national pride and unity.

This picture may also have given to some people a sense of national pride or unity. But, it protrays the wrong message and because of that many people believe in him and followed what he said.

This is how i see the role of photography in communication.

Final project idea

For my final project I have decided to find a song that I like and try to tell the story/song through pictures and write a narrative under the pictures.

Final Project Criteria:

1.) Print Craftsmanship
2.) Film Exposure
3.) Use of light and shadow
4.) Setting of the picture...(does it fit what your trying to say)
5.) Atmosphere and mood

Picture Analysis

Picture Analysis


Chris Lyons:

This picture really caught my eye when we were doing the class analysis. I loved the ghosting in the picture. It’s something that I haven’t thought about doing since the pinhole cameras. When I look at the picture, I get the feeling of death. It is like a haunting feeling. I’m not one to believe in ghosts but this picture kind of makes me think, “What if.” The room also feels like it could have been abandoned, there isn’t much use of bed sheets and it looks like there is a sheet covering furniture. I really like the lighting in this room because although it has the death feeling, the lighting doesn’t have that same feeling. The lighting in this room I get the feeling for something new, something born again. I get that feeling because its like the sun is coming up to start a new day. A new day is being born, so I have these conflicting feelings from this picture. I think this is a really good portrait because it has good lighting, the picture is focused on Chris, its something out of ordinary, and it keeps you interested and it makes you think about what he is trying to say. So this is why I think this is a good self-portrait and why this unique picture caught my eye.
